Jack O'Brien works on removing debris from his flooded basement into the garbage pile on the 1900 block of Clinton Place in River Forest July 26.The O'Brien's were one of many homes in the area that got more than five feet of water into the basement after heavy rainfall fell Friday and Saturday.

The flooding damaged dozens of million dollar homes along the 1200 block of Williams Street and along Greenfield Street, as well as homes in other neighborhoods.

Interim Public Works Director Phil Cotter said there was also some street flooding, especially at Keystone Avenue and Division Street.

Cotter, who spoke with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District late Saturday morning, said both the Deep Tunnel storage system and River Forest's sewer system are full, further complicating matters.

Resident Rick Gillis, who served on the River Forest Flood Committee and who operates a home inspection business, observed the damage inside several of the homes.

He said the costs to residents could easily run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
